That's good so far.

You're missing a trailing semicolon (";") here.

And here.

Perl won't interpolate function calls inside double-quotes. You can do:
open my $bib_output, '>', basename($filename) . ".bib"
or die "Foo bar. $!";
You can also do "@{[basename($filename)]}.bib" (using the "Turtle operator"
mentioned here - http://www.catonmat.net/blog/secret-perl-operators/ - but this
is clunky.
You've also missed the open and the trailing ";" again.

You're mentioning $ARGV[0] twice in this script. You should assign it to a
variable once and use it instead. Also see:
http://perl-begin.org/tutorials/bad-elements/#subroutine-arguments

It is possible that here ":" will be considered as part of the variable name,
because Perl uses "::" as a namespace separator. So you should write
${tex_filename} instead to delimit it.
I also dislike calling variables "file" because it can refer to a file handle,
a file name, the file contents or whatever.

Here it is better to do if (my ($match_substring) =~ m/cite\{(\S+)\}/)) because
$1 can easily be clobbered (see Perl Best Practices about it). Why are you
using /g here?
